We are looking for an image of either a man or woman between the age of 55-70 who leads an active lifestyle, but is showing pain or some discomfort in either the hip or knee.

      <title>Still Life/Product Photography and Photo Retouching</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/photography/custom_photography/still_life_product_photography_and_photo_retouching</link>
      <description>LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

We are a new soda company based out of New York that&apos;s creating a line of flavored sodas.  Our line is healthy and fun and, of course, very tasty.

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

We are creating our sales materials (sell sheets), and our products aren&apos;t entirely finished so we can&apos;t take pictures of the finished bottles.  Fortunately, our bottles and 4-packs that hold the bottles (not our branding, etc.) are pretty similar to the Izze and other standard soda bottles and 4-packs out there.  We need images of both the bottles and the four packs that we can ourselves Photoshop our branding onto.  We need one image for each of the bottles of 5 different color liquids.

We need you to:

1)  Buy a four pack of Izze or very similar bottle in a four pack  see:  http://nothingbutbonfires.com/files/images/pom4pack_1.jpg
2)  Photograph the bottles and the four packs (removing labels from bottles if necessary)
3)  Edit the photos of the bottles so they look great, with bubbles and nice condensation
4)  Edit the 4-pack so the art is all removed and we could just layer our artwork on top
5)  Edit the bottles so that we have version where the liquid is each of the following colors:

• Clear (like for a seltzer or club soda)
• Blood Orange -- Like This: http://www.gourmetsleuth.com/images/bloodorange_sm.jpg
• Pomegranate -- Like the liquid on the left here: http://anatolianorganic.com/custom/pomegranat.jpg
• Lemon -- like the yellow of the actual lemon here: http://www.healthtohealthy.com/images/LemonJuice.jpg
• Cranberry -- like this:  http://booyow.net/mrfrench/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/cranberry-juice.JPG

Please note that both the bottles and the 4-packs should have absolutely no branding or labeling on them, we need them to be bare but high resolution images.

OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS:

We are targeting beverage distributors so the images must be impressive and convey the carbonation and effervescence of the sodas.

WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS:

This is a very comparable example of what we&apos;re looking for: http://i39.tinypic.com/34hzc6a.jpg

WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don&apos;t want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN:

- Completely brandless bottles and four packs
- Bubbles in the liquid
- Condensation
- At least 300 dpi, print ready images</description>

      <title>Photos for our booth (for a fast-growing Austin Internet startup)</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/photography/custom_photography/photos_for_our_booth_for_a_fast_growing_austin_internet_startup</link>
      <description>LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

We are a social commerce technology software company. Our technology powers user generated content within web sites such as Best Buy, Dell, Home Depot and Sears. Our solutions include Ratings and Reviews, Ask &amp; Answer, and Stories. We are about helping our clients connect our customers, get them to contribute, and using that content to help others buy -- answer questions, consider a product, discover a product, filter, sort, etc.

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

We&apos;re designing a new booth and we have a space in the middle that needs 3-5 pictures that conceptually represent people interacting -- giving a review, helping answer a question, telling a story, etc. These photos will be masked into a &apos;Polaroid&apos; look and the concept is that your everyday customers are the experts. They are the ones who will help you sell your products. Let them do the talking. Etc. 

The pictures we found on a few stock photo sites look bland, boring, sterile, and &apos;stock&apos;. We&apos;re looking for something that conveys the message above, but stands out. Have more personality. More &apos;movement&apos; and color.

OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS:

Managers, directors, and executives of Global 2000 retail and manufacturers.

WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS:

Here&apos;s what the booth looks like, you can see a mockup of the &apos;banner&apos; that will display the photos on the back: http://www.bazaarvoice.com/upload/boothPosters/booth_3d.png

Close up of the photos we DON&apos;T like, with possible tagline: http://www.bazaarvoice.com/upload/boothPosters/BoothCampaign_1.pdf

Other photos we considered that convey the message, but don&apos;t like most of them: http://www.bazaarvoice.com/upload/gallery/



WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don&apos;t want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN:

People with products, at least for some shots.
Good looking and diverse people (not every race necessary, of course)
Want images to be in diverse settings.
Images need to be at least 10MP</description>
